Manual MCACC setup

You can use the settings in the Manual MCACC setup menu to make detailed adjustments when you’re more familiar with the system. Before making these settings, you should have already completed Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8.

You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers).

Important

•For some of the settings below, you’ll have to connect the setup microphone to the front panel and place it about ear level at your normal listening position.

Press SETUP to display the System Setup menu before you connect the microphone to this receiver. If the microphone is connected while the System Setup menu is not being displayed, the display will change to the Auto MCACC setup menu. See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 10 for notes regarding background noise and other possible interference.

•If you’re using a subwoofer, switch it on and turn up the volume as necessary.

Caution

•The test tones used in the MCACC setup are output at high volume.

1Select ‘Manual MCACC’ from the System Setup menu.

See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu above if you’re not already at this screen.
